Polar Bear Son (The)
[9780395975671]
$6.95

Author/Illustrator: Lydia Dabcovich
Format: Paperback
Published: Clarion Books, 1997

A lonely old Inuit woman finds an orphaned polar bear cub and raises him as her own son. Once the bear is grown, the envy and fear of the other villagers force the bear to leave the village forever. Whenever the woman gets too lonely, she travels far out onto the ice and calls, "'Kunikdjuaq! Kunikdjuaq, my son!'" and the bear, "big and strong and sleek and glossy" comes running to meet her for a hug. Gentle, muted illustrations capture the wide-open beauty of the landscape and the love between a mother and her adopted child.

"A heart-warming selection."     ~School Library Journal
